Abstract
Systems and methods are described for adjusting a sleep schedule of a wireless device in a wireless network. A mobility of a wireless device may be determined to exceed a threshold mobility. The wireless device may be operating in a sleep mode with a discontinuous reception schedule having listening intervals separated by sleep periods. A source access node may request to handover the wireless device to a target access node and may provide information to the target access node regarding the determined mobility and the determined sleep mode before handover completion. The target access node may then initiate wireless communication with the wireless device during a listening interval previously scheduled by the source access node. After the initial communication with the target access node, the wireless device may resume the previously determined sleep mode in order to optimize power use of the wireless device.
